Any issues?

<p>It is registration time for senior year and I just wanted to clear up a question I have. Would taking two semesters of newspaper (CP Credit) adversely affect my chances of getting into UNC and hopefully their honors program? I have never taken newspaper before, but it is a class that I do have a genuine interest in and I love to write. My senior schedule would end up being something like:</p>

<p>AP Government
AP Calculus AB
AP Calculus BC
AP English 12
AP Chemistry or Biology (2 Semesters)
Newspaper
Newspaper</p>

<p>As you can see, the schedule is still rather demanding and I know that the strength of the schedule will not be the issue. The issue I could see is the appearance of taking two slack-off classes that I have never shown any previous interest in before. Your thoughts?</p>

<p>Your schedule looks quite challenging. Especially if you tie in your experiences in Newspaper (and why you wanted to take it), it will be a plus on your app. Of course, your GPA, test scores, rank, and whether or not you are IS/OOS will have a bigger impact on your admit status.</p>
